HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 c548W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, whether, in view of the changed circumstances arising from incidents in Czechoslovakia, he will now make a statement on the Government's policy with regard to the sale of arms to countries outside the British Commonwealth.

Mr. Healey

Our policy remains that we are prepared to sell defence equipment to friendly Governments taking the relevant political, economic, security and strategic considerations into account in each case.
